Barrick’s Acacia Mining has been hit with a 300-million Tanzanian shillings fine (about $129,144) over allegations of environmental breaches at its North Mara mine.
The Canadian junior expects to mine 230,000 to 265,000 gold ounces this year from both Aurizona mine in Brazil and its recently acquired Mesquite gold operation in California.
The company produced 472,418 ounces of gold at its Egypt-based Sukari mine last year, compared to 544,658 ounces in 2017, due to disruptions and lower grades at the operation.
The Canadian gold miner announced record gold for both 2018 and the fourth quarter of the year, thanks mainly to higher-than-expected output at its Australian Fosterville mine as well as its Ontario-based Macassa and Taylor operations.
Cobalt 27 will put in about $9 million into a share of production at Mineral Resources and Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium's Mount Marion lithium project in Western Australia.
